<DIV>Great info thxs <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>Awesome list. Thank you for providing this service to the Monk community.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#cccc00>Thanks! Good to have for sure. Where do you get these from though? (Just curious :smileyhappy<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></FONT></DIV>

I compiled the list at the end of beta based on skills sold from vendors. So it can have changed since, or it could have remained the same.

<DIV>Ahhh okay I did hear that some arts/skills will not be upgradeable because it just didn't make sense to updgrade those particular skills so maybe there are more but probably little ones not used in combat. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Great list thanks.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks! :smileyhappy:</DIV>

Last night I got over 60% xp into 20, I didn't receive any auto skill for the kata. I will go look in North Qeynos tonight and see if it is vendor only.So this skill is suspect imo will update tonight.20 - Silent Fist Kata (Fun type skill)Do we really get a animal form at 20 that lets us travel faster? Or was that scrapped? I heard the Paladins get a horse.As long as I can run faster I am happy.

<DIV>Yeah, there's supposed to be a monk tiger form.  Where is that?</DIV>

<DIV>its around 25</DIV>

<DIV>With a new ability every single level, what is the point in upgrading any abilities?  you can't use them all!  I'm only up to 14 Brawler but doesn't look like any abilities overwrite previous ones.</DIV>

<DIV>Strange, when I made 15th last night I did not get focused strike, just thunder fist.. do I have to get this skill from a vendor?</DIV>

<DIV>Checked out the vendors after making level 20 the other day. Tiger Style sells for over 2gp and requires 200skill which if we continue to get skills at the same rate as before (5pts per lvl) we cannot use it untill lvl 40 which to me seems like a total rip.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also just picked up Silent Fist Kata. It doesn't seem to do anything but make your character run through a whole bunch of combat moves without doing dmg. So unless anyone has figured out if this acutlly does something I would sugguest not spending the 14sp on it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/pplayer.vm?characterId=114733103" target=_blank>Nyotai</A></DIV> <DIV><A href="http://roadp.eq2guilds.org/" target=_blank>Relics of a Dying Past</A></DIV>

<DIV>Where would one get focused strike? or where in general is the monk skill trainer? I have checked all the "newb" town trainers and looked all through elddar.. am I missing it?</DIV>

<DIV>you get focused strike at lvl 15.6 or at 3/5ths the way through level 15</DIV>

<DIV>Silent Fist Kata is just a "fun" spell / distraction.  It has no purpose other then to "look cool".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tiger Form is the same thing, just that you get to shapeshift into a Tiger.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At level 50 you get a nice combat buff.   I got it 2nd to last day of beta from one of the dev's because it wasn't put on the vendors by accident.  I think it was called Focused Kei or something of that nature.  It made a glowing effect that stayed around the Monk's body and upped combat skills.</DIV>

<DIV>So.. Tiger Form is true.. .heard a rumor about this today. Any idea when it is available to the Monk?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Jaqul 19 Brawler (almost Monk!)</DIV>

<DIV>wild swing and focused strike are on the same timer.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#ffffff>awsome list jezekiell thx for the info</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i see some combat arts i dont have on my list :smileyhappy:</DIV>

<DIV>Dragon stance is the best skill there, ups dps by so much</DIV>

<DIV>bump....wish they would sticky all these skills posts</DIV>

<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> Neimhidh wrote:<BR> <DIV>wild swing and focused strike are on the same timer.</DIV><BR> <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE>That is by design.  Its also why skills "con" to you just like armor/items and mobs.  Its SoE's way of keeping your hotbar uncluttered.  Focused Strike is the "upgrade" to wild swing, hence the same timer.  Right about the time you get Focused, Wild should be conning green or white to you.  When you upgrade Focused to the same lvl as wild, you'll see additional dmg or affects.  That is working as intended.<BR>

<DIV>Is Hand Clap, one of thoose half way through the level combat skills?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cause I am 22 and not got it yet. Which is bad cause I got the Adept I already.</DIV>

<DIV>bump</DIV>

<DIV>I'm a 21 monk and never got Sparking Cobra, and it's not sold anywhere either. Anyone know where this comes from?</DIV>

<DIV>Sparkling cobra comes halfway through a level I believe. 21.6</DIV>

err just noticed I didn't get this skill either today. Only found out because I was checking gamegod. Thought maybe it was buyable but finding out it's not.....
